This book can be trisected into three parts by its content. The first segment of the book looks back to the “past”, offering a comprehensive review of the restructuring of the Korean financial sector that has been ongoing since 1997. The second segment of the book focuses on the “present” and what the international community as a whole has done since the 2008 global financial crisis in order to prevent a similar recurrence. The third segment of this book suggests what lessons the Korean financial industry should learn from its past experiences, and the direction it should move towards for the “future”.
